Forbos, 1023 tax lister, is re sponsible for tha revaluation, and ha is sura there is still other property which has not boon listed for 1922 taxes. Some of this property has changed ownership within the twelve months, and when 1923 listing time came tha new owners went to Mr. Forbes' office to give in their list. A''search of the records revealed the absence of the property from the 1922 tax lists. Among the unlisted tracts were one or two that bad not boon on tho list boohs for more than oaa year.

MOTOR MOUNTED ON POWER STAND New Electric Equipment Has Proved Useful to Farmero During the Busy Season. CAN BE EASILY MOVED ABOUT Called the "Extra Hani' on tho Farm," Because It Can- Do So Many Small Duties?Motor la H H. P. r In an endeavor to solve, to some ex tent, the labor problem on American farms, the General Electric Company ha s broasht out a unique, yet simple, apparatus known as a power stand. , It enables a small, powerful motor to ! be transported from place to place about the farm, mounted en a tripod. The tripod Is provided wllh a com bination pulley, which allows either a round or a flat belt to be used. The li . v . - . . ? jljMBKv Power Stand Operating Corn Sholler motor can also be connected directly to the farm machine which It Is to drive. No new parts need he secured, but the handle of the farm machine need simply be replaced by a pulley, to enable the power stand motor to be connected np. To steady the tripod against the vibrations of the motor there Is s telescoping rod which allows it to be braced against the farm device which It Is operating and a strap, which is snapped Into a screw-eye in the fioor.l Included with the equipment is s standard plug and twenty feet of cord. The motor Is of the fractional horse power type, not abova one-fourth I horsepower In rating. It will operate | at 110 or SM volts, CO, SO, 40. SO or St cycles, alternating current, and at 110 ISO or SS volte, direct current. Gives Farm an Extra Hand What the power stand, with its mo tor .practically amounts to is an extra hand on the farm. It can work away at one farm operation watched by a| young boy, or even a woman, thus re I quiring only the attendance of some] one who woull not be able to partlcl l pate In the heavy duties of the farm. Meanwhile the ablebodled working force can carry on the pressing occu patlons of the moment without being retarded by the necessity of doing th? lighter work that the power stand handleq. This lighter work Includes such duties as operating a grindstone, a I feed grinder, a corn shelter, fanning mills, cider presses, horse clippers oi watering pumps. The power stand as an "extra hand" or a farm helpei whom somebody has described ail "never quitting," can also run a churn a cream rlpener, a cream separator, as emery wheel or such devices as trull graders. Ice breakers, ironing ma t chines, small lathes, milk mixers sheep shearers, sausage stufferfl washing machines or pea and bean huBers. A Lift In the Rush Season During the perennial rush season on the farm, when duties come pressing from morn to night, the power standi answers two momentous questions:! "Which Job shall be done first?" and "Which man can be spared to do it?" Actual experience on farms where! the power stand has so far been put into use proves the usefulness of thai power stand and the timeliness of Its I appearance. It allows more time toi other things; It releases more man power tor the fields; it eliminates the vexatious interruptions which always I occur when human hands undertake I a task, tot the tireless meter works right ahead until the work Is dons. The fact that It it portable and can be I carried to the work, en any part o! the farm, has appealed te many users. I The power stand works as well if the electricity comes from an indi vidual farm lighting outfit as It dossl whan the eaaygy Is purchased from a power company's Unas. MB. MATTHEWS IN RACE According to an announcement! made in the Windsor Ledger of last! week, Attorney 3. Hillary Matthews I of that town will be among the appli-l canto for the position of judge of the I Superior Court from the Third Ai dicial District, provided Judge J no. H. Kerr, present incumbent, resigns to make the race for Congress, or in the event he is nominated for the of fice by the Second District voters.
